Three transformative Ontario projects earned top honours at the 2024 Brownie Awards, presented by the Canadian Urban Institute in partnership with the Canadian Brownfields Network and Actual Media, highlight innovation and collaboration in turning brownfield sites into vibrant residential and commercial hubs.

Founded in 2001 by the Canadian Urban Institute, the Brownie Awards recognize the innovative efforts of professionals who rehabilitate sites that were once contaminated, under-utilized, and undeveloped by remaking them into productive residential and commercial projects that contribute to the growth of healthy communities across Canada.

Welland’s achievements included the Canals Development by Empire Communities, which was awarded in the Renew: Project Development at the Neighbourhood Scale category, while the Union Carbide Property Regeneration by REGEN earned recognition as the Best Large Project. Toronto's Wonder Condos by Diamond Schmitt Architects received recognition in the Project Development at the Neighbourhood Scale category.
